Review on Schwalbe Pro One Road Race Tubeless Tire: TLE HS 493, EVO Line, Super Race Construction, Puncture Protection - 700c/650b (Single Tire) by William Anacker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fast and convenient

This set of tires ran without leverage and was inflated using a standard hand pump with Fulcrum wheels. I had to take a tire off to re-tape it and had a hard time getting the bead off side 2. The first page popped and came off within seconds. Take this with a grain of salt. It took me two days to seal my front wheel with Stan's regular sealant and rim tape. The back is sealed for the first 24 hours. This is my first time installing a tubeless system. On the road, they're smooth, comfortable, grippy and fast. Corners and descents have definitely improved. My first ride on them was wet and I never lost traction. I will update in a few months. Update: @ just over 1000 miles still valid. I had a few small holes that healed with no problem. I added more sealant once and it almost went past the wear indicator. They don't bulge and fit a little narrower than other tires. Still works well and I've ordered a replacement set. They are still considered one of the fastest tires on the market. Tip: Change the rim tape at every assembly. Otherwise the tire will not have beads.
